Match Details

• Venue—Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
• Toss—West Delhi Lions won the toss and elected to bowl first
• Result: Purani Dilli-6 won by 15 runs

Purani Dilli-6 did score enough, and emerging out of the earlier losses in the tournament also assigned the first batting into a 52-run inning by emerging enthralled batsman Samarth Seth, who made a composed 52 runs at the match's important stage. After losing wickets in the original phase as intended, the non-delayed but collegial mid-order flourished and helped to darn all goals—hardly a defendable score.

The West Delhi Lions' mistake created the pressure game, unfortunately falling for an early breakthrough. Dav Shahnawaz and his bowling coughed out their dogs and ran up their quality bowling; strangely, a failed response with shoddy preparation tangled to cause Purani Dilli-6 to need to earn their first win in this tournament.

A much-needed boost for Purani Dilli-6, considering how poorly they addressed the start to the competition and earned under gutless convening, coming from a cellar position and completing by coming 4 points and coming the compounded greater Net Run Rate, now lying in 3rd place.

DPL 2025 – Key Player Stats (After Match 10)

Match 10 of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 lived up to its name and provided the spectators with a cliff-hanger of a match but subsequently resulted in a relatively comfortable win for scores of Purani Dilli 6 (PD6), who tied it up with a 15-run win over West Delhi Lions (WDL) at Arun Jaitley Stadium. PD6 lost the toss and were put in to bat, managing to put up a super total with some reasonable bowling to hold their composure and victory in a meaningful save.

Purani Dilli 6: 186/6 (20 Overs)

PD6 had a flying start with Aarush Malhotra being the lead with a quickfire 21 runs off just 8 balls, making his strike rate a stunning 262.50. PD6 managed to slip back with some early wickets, so Samarth Seth came in and stabilized with a solid innings, accumulating 52 runs off 36 balls, laying down a good platform and a solid anchor for his side.

The middle order had some useful contributions from Vansh Bedi (19 runs off 17 balls) and phenom Dev Lakra (47 runs off 31 balls). Ekansh Dobal (20)* and Aayush Singh (4)* guaranteed a strong finish and ran the final score to a very respectable score of 186/6.

Bowling Highlights for WDL:

• Shubham Dubey 2/26 in 4 Overs Methuselah
• Hrithik Shokeen 2/23 in 4 Over
• Bhangwan Singh 1/37 in 4 Overs
• Anirudh Chowdhary 1/53 in 4 overs.

West Delhi Lions Innings: 171/8 (20 overs)

After winning the toss, West Delhi Lions were set a tall order of 187 to chase and followed a rocky start, losing a few early wickets. Krish Yadav attempted to settle the run chase with 12 runs in 8 balls before the top order got wiped out by some aggressive bowling.
The innings was flushed out by Ayush Doseja, who smoked a blistering and brilliant 41 runs in 22 balls at a strike rate of 187.04. Nitish Rana also came in the fold and contributed 15 runs off 14 balls.

As the runs needed began to rise, Hrithik Shokeen (6 off 7) and Tishant Dabla (10 off 9) tried to not put the WDL behind as they awaited to find the gaps with no luck.
With good tight bowling at the death, PD6 finished strong and sealed the game.

Bowling highlights for PD6:

• Rajneesh Dadar made the early inroads with 2/19 in his 4 overs of edges.

Match Summary

Top Performers

• Player of the Match: Samarth Seth – 52 (36)

• Best Bowler (WDL): Shubham Dubey – 2/26 (4)

Match 10 of the Delhi Premier League 2025 took place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on August 7 and saw Purani Delhi 6 win by 15 runs over the West Delhi Lions. Purani Delhi batted first and scored a commendable 186/6, thanks to a powerful opening partnership and a hard-hitting middle-order show. West Delhi Lions, in their reply, were carried by a magical century by Ayush Doseja; however, they still lost, finishing at 171/8. Here are the key reasons why WDL lost the match:

1. Weak Bowling Performance in Powerplay and Death Overs

West Delhi Lions lacked the ability to restrict the Purani Delhi batters, especially during the powerplay and final overs. Particularly, the powerplay and the final overs were exploited. Samarth Seth (52 off 36) and Dev Lakra (47 off 31) made full use of fielding restrictions to put up a 79-run stand. Even after that, the bowlers leaked 54 runs in the last five overs, allowing Purani Delhi to reach a competitive 186. Key bowlers like Rishi and Deepak Sharma were costly, as both failed to find the breakthroughs at the critical moment.

2. Overdependence on Ayush Doseja

The inning of Ayush Doseja at 101 off 54 balls was an outstanding individual one that marked the highest score on the night. However, there was little to no support from the other end. The next highest score was just 19, and three batters were dismissed for single digits. The lack of partnerships around Doseja meant that the required rate kept climbing, and once he got out in the 18th over, the chase quickly lost steam.

3. Tactical Errors and Missed Opportunities

Field placements and bowling changes in the middle overs for West Delhi were called into question when they were unable to take advantage of breaking the first wicket stand. They also dropped a catch of Lakra in the 13th over, when he kept going on to score runs for Purani Delhi. With the bat, West Delhi struggled with bad running between the wickets and dot ball pressure, and together those tactical errors and dropped chances turned the game in favor of Purani Delhi.

Purani Delhi 6 will face off against the in-form West Delhi Lions in the 10th match of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, on Thursday, August 7. Purani Delhi 6 are at the lowest spot on the points table. They have only lost one match and have not won any so far. Aiming to claim their first win against the Wet Delhi Lions

On the other hand, West Delhi Lions are unstoppable and unbeaten with two victories in two games, and they are now second on the table. They will be looking to keep their winning streak intact and also to strengthen their position in the second edition of the DPL.

PD vs WDL: Head-to-Head Record

• Matches Played - 2
• PD won - 2
• WDL won 2 - 0
• No Result - 0

Purani Delhi 6 has prevailed in both previous meetings of the teams. Their commanding performance in the previous matches will certainly give them confidence while going to the next one, but WDL will be aggressive to reverse the situation.

PD vs WDL: Pitch Report

The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is known to be a batting paradise:

• Gives off a smooth bounce, which is very conducive for good stroke play.
• Short boundaries make it easy for the batsmen to play big shots and thus, higher scores.
• Bowlers, especially pacers, may find it hard to bowl in the middle and death overs.
• Spinners may get less grip but can still be effective if they use variations intelligently.

Expect another high-scoring contest, with 180+ totals likely if teams bat well.
